Answer: Chin Implant Or Lower Face Lift I suggest beginning with an in-person consultation to discuss your options. During your initial examination, your #chin will be evaluated along with the neck and jawline. A weak #chin implies a lack of chin support for the skin along the neck line. In younger individuals a chin implant alone is usually all that is needed to improve the appearance of the neck. Subsequently, it will also improve the overall #balance of the face and can create the illusion of a smaller nose. As a stand-alone procedure, chin augmentation can be performed in the office under local #anesthesia. For individuals with signs of #aging in the neck, a chin implant added to one of the recommended procedures above, will provide optimal results. Also, #liposuction under the chin is also another option your doctor can discuss. If you are not a candidate for chin or neck rejuvenation at the time of your #consultation, your board certified plastic surgeon can recommend alternatives to address your concern. If deemed a candidate you may want to consider Lite-lift™ which is an affordable, quick, and effective innovative facelift developed by board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Larry Nichter and myself. This is a modified facelift that can be performed in the office with a local anesthetic and improve signs of aging around the neck, jawbone and lower face. These procedures are not "Thread-lifts" or "String-lifts". We do not use the "barbed" sutures employed in these other lifting operations. The Lite-lift™ uses longer lasting techniques. Because the incisions are limited, there is less bruising, swelling and healing time for most patients. Many patients can be back to work in one to two weeks looking rested and more youthful.The best candidates for #LiteLift are non-smoking patients 35-60 years old with stable skin elasticity, well-defined bone structure but showing early changes of the lower face and the neck. Older patients who cannot or do not wish to have a longer operation or #general anesthetic can be improved with a Lite Lift™. All in all, Lite Lift™ surgery is individualized for each patient. According to your evaluation, your plastic surgeon may give you more than one option to choose from. Also, she or he can recommend non-surgical methods if suitable. However, there may be additional options to improve the appearance of your concern to improve the overall balance of your face. Such can be best evaluated in-person. Consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in #face, #neck and #chin procedures is important to ensure you are receiving the best advice, care, and surgical experience possible.

Answer: Chin implant and lower face neck lift The photographs demonstrate the facial changes of aging including fatty deposits of the neck and jowls, in addition to a weak and recessive profile. Placement of a chin implant will help give added projection to the chin and help with facial balance and proportions along with support of the soft tissues. The goals of a lower face and neck lift include removal of fatty deposits in the neck, lifting the jowls, tightening loose facial and neck skin, and tightening loose facial and neck muscles. For many examples of this combination, please see the link and the video below

Answer: Both and more You are focusing on your chin and jowls and missing the fact that jowls and chin are just lower one third of your face. Just addressing this will draw it into disharmony with rest of your face. This is because you also have sagging in face, eyelids and forehead.You should plan to have total facelift, forehead lift,eyelids and chin implant for a harmonious outcome.
